Mini salmon, pea and mint tartines

EN Today I have a pea party on the blog. Kind of 🙂 I’ve been wanting to make these mini salmon, pea and mint tartines since early December, but only last week I managed to do that. Preparation doesn’t require any efforts and the taste is very nice. The mint takes these tartines to a higher and more sophisticated level, unless you don’t like mint, so I guess it won’t be anything sophisticated for you :)) but you can totally cut it out, if you prefer! I will be preparing these mini tartines again soon for one of our soirée with friends. I wanted to check the recipe before serving it, you know just in case :))

Slice each toasted slice of bread into 4 fingers, then cut in half to make 32 in total. Arrange over boards or platters for serving. Or you can use multigrain ciabatta (like I did) cut in small pieces, depending how many people will be served.

Drain the peas well, then tip into a bowl with the crème fraiche, mint sauce, lemon juice, plenty of freshly ground black pepper and a pinch of salt. Use a potato masher or fork, or blender to mash everything to a rough crush. Taste it and season more (salt, pepper or lemon juice) if needed.

To serve, spread a little of the crushed pea over each bread, top with a ruffle of salmon and snip over the cress.

Remarks: 200g of frozen peas make a great quantity. If you are planning to serve it for 2 people (like I did) I highly recommend you to divide this in half, because it’s just way too much. I prepared a full portion of this mash and we had leftovers for a second day. Plus, if you can’t find mint sauce, no worries, you can simply substitute it with fresh mint (blended).
